Thread regarding Thomson Reuters layoffs

More cuts in early November

More head-cuts early Nov after the GTM structure is fully announced. So many managers will be sent home, especially the middle management .

Is this confirmed? Frankly, some cuts in middle management would be actually welcomed, so much dead weight there. But I have a feeling wrong people will be laid off once again.

my boss is a VP and was replaced by an external hire who isn't even joining until mid November, not to mention my boss wasnt even made aware until one hour before a formal companywide email went out. That tells me we are not going to like how we are treated when we get pink slip and it will be a sh--ty experience with zero communication....low on mood elevator!

I saw a note from a colleague in Asia last week, after the October blood letting, an email went out to managers asking if they had any staff gaps and do they need to hire anyone. Surely this highlights a real management issue.

I wonder if this was the same anywhere else?

I am skeptical about leadership’s ability to identify the work that their employees actually do, so I think it is inevitable that hard-working, necessary people will be let go.

CR is bringing in her people in key areas to fill out the org chart, and remember that she comes from legal.

They are not reinterviewing people for jobs or sitting down to identify who does what. They’re doing this top-down, not bottom-up.

The bloatedness, inefficiencies, and siloed nature of our division all but assure that key competencies of necessary individuals will be overlooked and the wrong people will be let go.

Our management has no clue of how to win, all about cost cutting
